"The increase in multi-channel publishing driven by greater adoption of the Web means we need best-in-class authoring software designed to deliver training and Help content consistently across the Internet, intranets, CD-ROMs, and a range of computer systems. We are also thinking about Web 2.0 and looking down the road for software that can support us in the future. For us, that software is MadCap Flare."
"Our students are very grateful for the opportunity to use MadCap Flare to learn concepts, such as topic-based authoring, single sourcing and reuse of topics. Flare is the most cost efficient, easy-to-learn XML-based program we’ve come across."
"When we overhauled the class, we knew our students would need to start a project in DITA using the oXygen XML editor and then create a set of topics that could be single-sourced and re-used for online Help.We looked at a number of tools, but Flare was the one that dovetailed nicely with our needs. With its native XML architecture, singlesourcing, and topic-based paradigm, Flare was a natural fit."
"When our evaluation showed how much more effectively Flare would let us support the demands of our many clients whose businesses extend across Europe, North America and Asia, switching from RoboHelp to Flare was the obvious choice."
"We moved from FrameMaker® to Author-it®, but were not very happy with the way Author-it® "locks" your files in the system in its own code-propriety format. We wanted something (file format) that is more transparent and easy to use. We then moved to MadCap Flare, and we are very glad that we took this decision. For few of our products that have 30,000+ files, our build times have come down from a staggering 16-24 hour in AIT to a meager 20-30 minutes. Flare is the simplest and the best thing in market now, according to my experience."
"EMPI is delighted to collaborate with MadCap and train students and professionals in the field of technical writing. This is just the beginning, and at an appropriate time we will be looking to set up a centre of excellence dedicated to technical writing."
"MadCap software hit all of our points for a streamlined, cost-effective, and innovative solution."
"The single-sourcing features in Flare offer us tremendous flexibility. The fact that we can create different Flare targets to generate variations of the same content with different branding is a huge time-saver for us."
"MadCap Flare is a tool that makes the impossible possible. As a solo writer I would not be able to support my company’s range of products without Flare. Flare is a robust tool with a lot of features that exceed my expectations."
"In the past year alone, we’ve reduced production time from two weeks to less than one week. We’re delighted that this curve keeps diving, and we’re now at the brink of reducing that to possibly hours."
"We really liked the efficiency of an authoring tool that would let us publish to both print and the Web. And after getting so many great references for Flare from the tech writer community, we decided it was the right software for our needs."
"Flare has made me so much more productive, and is going to give my group an ongoing cost savings since we will no longer have to purchase upgrades for FrameMaker®. Flare rocks!."
"I found Matthew Ellison's webinar with MadCap Software to be one of the most helpful webinars for me yet. We are excited to implement some of the features that were discussed. Thank you for continuing to offer these informative webinars to your users on a regular basis."
"With Flare, we were able to create our first mobile Help implementation in less than two weeks, and single-sourcing allows us to update all of our Help formats, including mobile, concurrently."
"MadCap support is fantastic. The key thing that I appreciate is that the support team gets back to us in a timely manner, so we can remain on task and on schedule."
